MENON is a European innovation and research network providing information and advice to policy makers and authorities, education communities, and the ICT and media industry on issues related to innovation and changes in Education and Training, Lifelong Learning and Knowledge Society developments in Europe and worldwide. MENON, established as a European Economic Interest Group (EEIG) since 1999 in Brussels, provides the necessary insight for all stakeholders in Europe to better understand the ICT market for E&T and the prevailing changes, to enhance a value-oriented and innovative use of e-Learning, and to develop useful e-Learning applications and services of better quality.

MENON aims at:

• Facilitating the evolution of Education and Training in the Knowledge Society in Europe and the world;
• Making learning a priority issue on the policy agendas about human capital and economic development at national and international level;
• Improving the quality of learning opportunities in Europe;
• Facilitating international collaboration on Knowledge Society related issues (eLearning, eInclusion, ehealth, eGovernment);
• Enhancing the competitiveness of the European education institutions and e-Learning providers in the emerging global learning markets.

The MENON Network is active both at national level, through its members, and at transnational level, where the EEIG coordinates co-funded projects, and is active in other collaboration and support work for the European Commission and international organisations.
